Prüfstandsmessungen

Prüfstandsmessungen sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Qualitätssicherung und Optimierung von Maschinen und Anlagen. Dabei werden verschiedene Parameter gemessen und bewertet, um sicherzustellen, dass die erforderlichen Standards eingehalten werden. Wir helfen Ihnen, die besten Verfahren und Strategien zur Optimierung Ihrer Maschinen und Geräte zu finden. 

Ihre Vorteile:

  • Präzise und zuverlässige Ergebnisse: Prüfstandsmessungen ermöglichen es, die Schallemissionen von Maschinen und Geräten unter kontrollierten Bedingungen genau zu messen. Dies führt zu präzisen und zuverlässigen Ergebnissen, die für die Optimierung und Verbesserung der Maschinenakustik unerlässlich sind.
  • Einhaltung gesetzlicher Anforderungen: Durch die Durchführung von Prüfstandsmessungen können Unternehmen sicherstellen, dass ihre Maschinen und Geräte den gesetzlichen Anforderungen und Normen entsprechen. Dies minimiert das Risiko von rechtlichen Problemen.
  • Optimierung der Maschinenakustik: Prüfstandsmessungen bieten die Möglichkeit, verschiedene schalltechnische Maßnahmen zu testen und zu bewerten. Dies hilft Unternehmen, die besten Lösungen zur Reduzierung der Geräuschentwicklung zu finden und die Akustik ihrer Maschinen zu optimieren.

Sound measurements in industrial facilities

Sound emission measurements are a key component of industrial acoustics and serve to precisely capture and evaluate the noise generated by machinery and equipment. These measurements are particularly important to ensure compliance with legal regulations and to minimize noise exposure for employees and nearby residents.

Your benefits:

  • Precise and Reliable Results: Measurements provide customers with accurate and dependable data on the sound emissions of their entire facility. This data forms the basis for optimizing and improving industrial operations.
  • Optimization of Facility Design: The results of sound emission measurements can be used to enhance the design and operation of the facility. This helps minimize noise generation and reduce environmental impact.
  • Improved Public Acceptance: A well-founded sound emission assessment can help increase acceptance of the project among affected communities and authorities. Transparent and traceable measurements demonstrate that environmental concerns are taken seriously, strengthening trust in the project.

Sound measurements in industrial facilities

Sound immission measurements are a key component of modern noise and vibration protection. They are used to capture and assess the sound emissions from machinery, equipment, buildings, and facility components, and to evaluate their impact on the surrounding environment. We develop, optimize, and coordinate all necessary technical measures to protect the surroundings of technical installations and workplaces from noise and vibration exposure.

Your Benefits:

  • Legal Certainty: Through precise measurements and analyses, we ensure that your facilities comply with statutory sound emission and immission limits. This minimizes the risk of legal disputes.
  • Cost Reduction: A coherent overall concept for noise and vibration protection, considered early in the development process, helps avoid unnecessary costs. With our expertise, we develop economically viable solutions that save costs in the long term.
  • Environmental Sustainability: Our solutions are not only cost-effective but also ecologically sound. We design measures that minimize environmental impact from noise and vibrations, contributing to a more sustainable industry.
  • Optimized Operations: Our database-supported forecasts and customized action packages help you integrate noise and vibration protection efficiently into your operational processes. This leads to an improved working environment and increased productivity.

Acoustic planning support

Acoustic Planning Support refers to professional assistance and guidance for projects involving acoustic considerations. This includes the planning, implementation, and monitoring of noise reduction and sound insulation measures in various construction projects, such as residential buildings, commercial properties, or industrial facilities.

We develop acoustic concepts and noise mitigation strategies, conduct precise sound measurements, and prepare sound insulation certificates and expert reports that serve as the basis for approval procedures. Additionally, we monitor construction execution to ensure that acoustic requirements are met.

Your Benefits:

  • Early Problem Detection: Involving acoustic experts during the planning phase allows potential noise issues to be identified and addressed early, preventing costly and time-consuming corrections later in the project.
  • Improved Communication and Collaboration: Close cooperation between acoustic experts, planners, and project owners promotes smooth communication and coordination. This leads to more efficient project execution and minimizes misunderstandings and delays.
  • Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility: Integrating noise protection measures into planning not only reduces noise pollution for the surrounding area but also contributes to environmental protection. This can enhance the company’s image and support more sustainable operations.
  • Long-Term Planning Security: By considering noise protection measures early on, companies can plan with confidence and focus on their core competencies. This creates stability and security for future projects and investments.
